French police arrested more than 1,300 people nationwide during a fourth consecutive night of rioting over the killing of teenager Nahel M. by police, the interior ministry said Saturday. Family and friends will hold a funeral gathering for him in his hometown of Nanterre, but have requested that journalists and the public stay away.
